Direct-to-plate pad printing clichés can now be made using the StarLight LPM laser plate maker from ITW Trans Tech. The simple yet efficient CO2 laser device produces ready-to-use, high-quality cliché plates with etched images of artwork for a wide range of product decorating applications.
The compact but functional design enables rapid creation of laser clichés for short or long production runs within pre-set parameters: solid, screened and four-color process. Its user-friendly input uses an easy-to-use software that makes importing of graphics and positioning of images on the plate visible and intuitive with minimal learning curve required.
Finished clichés are ready to use in pad printing machines without further processing; no washout chemicals are necessary. The high-resolution StarLight laser images ensure crisp pad transfer and consistency.
The 5 amp unit has a computer interface which includes specific settings for etching three categories of images onto StarLight plate material. The device works in conjunction with the print driver on Microsoft Windows XP software and requires a dedicated computer with USB port (not included). To print with driver, Corel Draw X3 software is recommended (not included).
In addition, external venting is required: exhaust system must be capable of supplying minimum of 150CFM airflow while under load of six inches of static pressure (254 m3/hr. at 1.5Pa).
